Clear writing starts with clear thinking. It's that
simple. And so the writing process for any writing project
begins at the beginning, with the first spark of an
idea. This workshop will look at ways of focusing any writing effort
early and connecting a project's frame and its research to the
final written and polished product. Jerry Lanson is an Associate Professor of Journalism at
Emerson College, where he serves as the first chair of its
Journalism Department. He's a former acting and deputy city
editor at the San Jose Mercury News in California and he has
coached writers and editors at a dozen newspapers and two
universities. His third book, "Writing for Others, Writing
for Ourselves: Telling Stories in an Age of Blogging" was published
by Rowman & Littlefield in January 2011.
